Taylor Lautner, Marie Avgeropoulos team up in action film 'Tracers'

MANILA, Philippines- Meet Taylor Lautner and Marie Avgeropoulos's latest characters in the the film "Tracers."

Cam (Lautner) and Nikki (Avgeropoulis) are both broken and are in need of being rescued. It’s about a guy who finds a girl who allows him to reclaim a part of his life and a spirit in his life. At the exact same moment that happens, outside forces are pressing in on him.

“The appeal of Tracers was being part of a high impact thrilling action movie that’s just nonstop," said Avgeropoulos. "I hadn’t had the pleasure of working on a project like that yet and playing a character like Nikki who is sort of a guarded tomboy who’s one of the guys – tough on the outside but very vulnerable on the inside to those who are lucky enough to meet that side of her.”

Avgeropoulos is thrilled to work with Lautner, yet was challenged to keep up with him and the other stunt men with their parkour training.

She relates one incident when "I broke my ankle midway through the shoot – a big obstacle I had to overcome mentally and physically. And it didn’t happen in the line of duty. I was doing my Jane Fonda butt-glossing workout and rolled on it. Go figure! Doing all of this hardcore stuff and then this. Gotta roll with the punches!”

Tracers is from producers Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen, and directed by Daniel Benmayor. It will be in cinemas on February 4, distributed by Pioneer Films.
